Schoolboy Father 1980

DESCRIPTION

Based on the book "He's My Baby Now" by Jeannette Eyerly.

Schoolboy Father is an hour long Afterschool Special that addresses the subject
of teenage parents and what rights a father has to his own child. Rob Lowe's
character has a brief relationship with a character played by Dana Plato over
the summer break. He reads a birth announcement in a newspaper and quickly
figures out that he has fathered a child with this girl. He is outraged when he
finds out that she is going to put the child up for adoption. He refuses to
accept that as an option. He fights for his right to keep his own son and bring
him up so he will know who his father is. Gradually he begins to realize all
the sacrifices he will have to make and how hard it will be on him and the
child. Reluctantly he agrees to allow his son to be put up for adoption.

Nancy's character is a schoolmate who invites Rob to a birthday party. He can't
go because he doesn't have a babysitter. The only time we get to see Nancy is
while they are at school and its only a few shots, mostly while they are in
class together. One thing to look for is that Nancy is writing and taking notes
while they are in class and in every shot she is writing with her left hand.
Every other time we've seen her write (in Facts and her movies) she always writes
right handed. Things that make you go hmmmmm. If you've got a theory write
us and let us know!
